Warriors Path and Bays Mountain


This past Memorial Day we decided to take advantage of some much needed family time! We headed up north to visit Warriors path State park and Bays Mountain State park. It was a fabulous day together.

Warriors path is next to a beautiful lake and has a HUGE playground for kids. It is an awesome place. There was a tree house lookout, tons of playground equipment, a Narnia trail where you can follow the story of the Chronicles of Narnia, and endless fun The AMAZING Playground
A boat ride! (It was harder to push than you would think)

Look at those smiles!

Brielle made a new friend at the park (which is not surprising, she makes friends wherever she goes!
The "monkey" on the monkey bars!
These two are best buddies!
My sweet little babe!


Bays mountain is so neat, if anyone is around the area, it is so worth the hour and a half drive! It has a bunch of different animal habitats where we got to see gray wolves, owls, bobcats, birds of prey and deer in there natural habitat. The wolves were the BEST! I have never seen wolves so up close and personal before. The park also has a big Planetarium. It had an amazing show, and I think it was the kids favorite part!

I love this picture, I think it is so sweet!
